Possible Multiple Sclerosis?

Previous MRI wothout contrast showed several small lesions in the periventricl white matter.  Done 5 years ago.  Most recent MRI without contrast reads multiple large atypical focal areas...the largest centered in the left parietal white matter.  Lesion in right corona radiata.  Multiple additional lesions including areas in the frontal and periventrical white matter bilareally.  Does the second MRI mean the same thing as the first with more detail, or does it appear that there are more lesions?  It says highly suggestive of demyelinating disease or MS.  The first one worded concering for demyeinating disease.  My mother has MS, but I do not want to over think that.  I am 50 year old female.  Is this something I should pursue?

Hi there.. sorry I can't help with the answer to that question.  Other might jump in to help, when do you see the Neuro for results. I think that is the next step for you to take, let us know how things progress.

take care

Those type of lesions are suggestive of the lesions seen in MS.  If you are heading to the Neurologist, it would be good to have both studies with you on disk.  You should keep a copy for yourself.  

This is really a case where it would be best if your Neurologist could compare the old and new studies.
